I'M HIRING! I'm looking to add a second team member to deepen the bench as we support jurisdictions across the country in reducing violence in their communities. What you should know if you're thinking about applying: 1. Servant leadership, integrity, and humility are a must! 2. Honesty about the work we do is a non-negotiable for me.

So true. If you treat them well, and don't get them in trouble, they'll be your best sources for years. So often, I've seen young, ambitious journalists walk into a new beat and burn sources before they've even formed a relationship. One of the most important parts of being a good journalist is building and fostering those relationships, so when something significant does happen, you're not completely blocked out. Act with integrity, treat them like people with real jobs to lose, and remember, there can be consequences for others as a result of your actions. That is NOT something to take lightly in the name of your career. Being a respected journalist isn't about counting A1 bylines; it's about being the person people go to when a story NEEDS to be told. Having the trust of your readers, as well, means that if YOU say it, they know to pay attention. If you don't have that, you have nothing. Remember that daily for your entire career. Respect that responsibility. The success will follow. #journos #journalism
Young journalists: I was a reporter for three different newspapers, and the best sources I had were not the decision makers or the politicians or the bosses. They were the lower-level and mid-level staff. They know everything. Get to know the administrative assistants, the engineers, the IT folks in your coverage area. Treat them was respect. Ask them about their interests, their spouses, their kids. They will appreciate your interest. Besides, my observation is that they are devoted public servants doing interesting stuff. In one job, I had the police beat. I consistently asked the sergeant and detectives and clerks for good news about cops and firefighters and emergency personnel who had gone above and beyond. They fed me those stories -- and they were always good stories -- so that when I asked about sensitive stories, they would trust me enough to talk. Ask the mid-level folks what they're working on and sometimes -- not always but sometimes -- they'll say something like, "Oh, we're trying to figure out how to reroute 911 calls because the damn phone system is buggy." There's a story. One time, I was talking to the administrative assistant to a city manager, and she said the county manager was in Minneapolis. She wouldn't tell me why. Because I had nothing else to do, I called the City Hall reporter at the Minneapolis paper -- this was before the internet -- who told me that the city was searching for a new city manager. When the city manager was back in the office, I got him to tell me that he was interested in the position. The thing is, these sources can't be cultivated by phone or email. In this stretched-thin media environment don't know if reporters have the time to "walk the beat" and "sit around with sources." And that's sad.

So great to hear from The Oregonian / OregonLive.com Editor Therese Bottomly and VP of Partnerships Amy Lewin yesterday on trends shaping the media landscape in Oregon. Thank you PRSA Oregon for organizing this event! A few takeaways: ➡️ Oregon may see more reporter layoffs following the recently announced sales of Pamplin and EO media companies. This is bad for local journalism, but some folks are stepping up and creating online, hyperlocal news outfits to fill gaps throughout the state. ➡️ The Oregonian hasn’t seen layoffs in six years, in large part because it has diversified its revenue base. This includes #HereIsOregon, a celebratory storytelling model spearheaded by Amy Lewin. The O is also getting into polling after seeing success with previous polls. ➡️ Fewer reporters to pitch to means that agencies increasingly need to step up and communicate directly with their audiences. This can take many forms, but some agencies, like Metro, are creating their own news outfits and hiring reporters. ➡️ The Oregonian is experimenting with #AI tools and automated reporting. For example, it takes data from the RMLS to create stories on top real estate listings. All stories written with AI are labeled as such. Support local journalism by subscribing to your paper! A healthy media landscape ➡️ a healthy democracy.

There’s a lot of snobby attitude directed at journalists, as if it’s low art. I recently had a recruiter describe my experience as a journalist as “all over the place,” and it was curious. One of the root skills you learn while being a journalist is creative problem solving when the unexpected gets dropped in your lap when you’re about to go home for the day. • It’s figuring out how to rip and edit a video in a wonky format from some ancient government system. • It’s knowing how to find someone to reach after hours. • It’s being able to look at the Affordable Care Act on deadline and understanding how to communicate it to the public in 800 words. • It’s getting illegally arrested by police and writing the story in your head while you’re waiting for someone to negotiate your release. • It means knowing nothing matters more than the details, and that second guessing something isn't a sign of weakness, it means you take quality seriously. • It means having to make difficult ethical decisions often in a hurry, but also understanding when it's time to have challenging discussions about the way you do business. • It’s building databases and being able to understand what things mean, and if you don’t, it means finding someone who can explain them. • It’s assigning, editing and coaching the publication of a novella every day. • It’s being able to sit down, look at data and analytics and know what that means in relation to what you should produce or how to present what you produce to your audience. Consider yourself lucky if a journalist applied at your non-journalism job. At the very least, have a chat with them and ask them to tell you some wild stories.
I wrote this in 2009 during an early wave of newsroom layoffs. It is tragically, disgustingly applicable today. Hire a journalist. https://lnkd.in/gbijhw5W

I'm hearing this a lot: "When I got my current job 2 years ago, I had a ton of news directors interested in hiring me. Now-- crickets. What's going on? This is frustrating." Across Gray Media, the job landscape is VERY different. We're at record low openings company wide- even in our small markets. If you are trying to get an anchor job OR work on air in a medium to large market, the competition is fierce! So, what do you do? Level up your reporting skills. If you are an anchor, make sure you have some STRONG hard news reporting examples. I've been preaching for years, content is the currency of the future. If you are looking to read a prompter and get a big paycheck, then I think you are going to be disappointed. Look no farther than our SVP of News, Lee Zurik. He's one of the nation's best investigative reporters, he anchors for WVUE-TV Fox 8 and he's a Gray Media corporate officer. I know as a news director, I always hired reporters who COULD anchor, not anchors who were willing to report if I made them. An anchor should have the best sources and be the best reporter in the newsroom. We have a session later this week about navigating the hiring process. We'll have more tips to make you more competitive for the most desirable jobs in a rapidly changing media world. Register at www.GrayIsHiring.com.

Predictable ARR for SaaS companies ¦ B2B Marketing Agency ¦ Scaled SaaS companies from 0 to $250 Million ARR
We got a 1/4-page print story and we were not happy with the result 😑 Media folks are interesting. They love to find what they want. and write a story around the "topic of interest" I got an email from a tier 1 media journalist "I would love to chat with your CEO" Our team was super happy We prepped up our CEO with all the possible questions The D-Day came The interaction was great The conversation touched upon every possible aspect :) The industry The company history, the team, milestones Our customer wins Our global ambitions The future After 4 hours of chat The journalist was about to leave Near the building exit She asked "Are you folks hiring" The CEO said "We are hiring 50+ folks in next 18 months" On the next day the feature story was "MartJack is hiring 50+ employees" the article hardly covered anything from the 4-hour conversation 😐 The informal chat near the gate made the headline for the story #publicrelations #marketing #b2bmarketing
